Proven EMV Process

Step 1-Foundation

We perform a needs assessment for your applications. We review your current certification status and walk you through the best course of action for the software. The support level that you require will be determined and a plan will be created.

Step 2- Paperwork

We do a Kernel Review, where we confirm your kernel validity, and verify it’s capabilities against your requirements. Our developers then complete a test scripts review.

Step 3-Testing

We perform the chosen tests on the applications. Using our various automated testing kits, we certify the applications and provide feedback and recommendations for the software, where needed.

Step 4-Submission

Gemstone pre-certifies all applications once all tests are executed successfully. Documentation is created, completed and then sent to the acquirer. Once the acquirer has certified, your application will be Level 3 EMV Certified.
